AIRLINES and ground support companies are facing ever-increasing pressure to reduce the level of green house gas emissions from their operations.
Escalating diesel fuel costs and burden from government regulations and mandates are pushing operators to review their environmental objectives and address employee health concerns; as a result, many operators are converting to electric fleets.
Curtis UK, the Northampton-based subsidiary of New York-headquartered global corporation Curtis Instruments, Inc., has a long history of developing and manufacturing advanced control system technology for electric vehicles and equipment of all types used by ground support equipment manufacturers.
So whilst you probably haven’t heard of Curtis Instruments or bought anything from the firm directly, many of the familiar vehicles found in airports, like baggage and cargo carriers, tugs, aircraft movers and boarding steps are often controlled or charged by Curtis products.
Curtis Instruments is helping to make the world greener by creating technology for zero-emission vehicles and was doing it long before the term ‘green’ became a buzzword. Located in central Northampton for more than 40 years and operating a purpose built facility, Curtis Instruments offer UK clients advanced customer support engineering, vehicle drive and control panel assembly, product testing, repair and analysis.
Locally and internationally, Curtis Instruments is working to make the world a better place. And even if you never become a customer, they’ll still help you catch your flight!
